- 8–10 thin asparagus spears, trimmed
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 120 g (4 oz) Brie cheese, sliced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 4 slices crusty sourdough or country bread
Instructions
- Step 1
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Step 2
- Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or sauté for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until just tender and lightly charred. Remove from heat.
- Step 3
- Butter one side of each bread slice.
- Step 4
- Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface. Layer with half the Brie, followed by the grilled asparagus, then the remaining Brie. Top with the other bread slices, buttered side up.
- Step 5
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Step 6
- Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For added flavor, spread a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or fig jam on the inside of the bread before assembling. This adds a subtle tang or sweetness that pairs beautifully with the earthy asparagus.
